Charming Sock Monkey Couple

Meet Julio and Regina Sock Monkey, lovingly created in the 1940s and wearing their Sunday best. Julio sports a matching lavender suit with turquoise piping and a wide brimmed wool hat with banding. Regina wears matching plaid skirt and boots, a red wool vest and hat. Completing her outfit is a beaded necklace and earrings (although she has lost one earring along the way). They are very devoted to each other and must remain together.

About Me

I love unusual and beautiful things. I have extremely eclectic tastes from industrial furniture and country furniture to primitive artifacts, outsider/folk art, studio pottery and ethnic textiles. I'm drawn towards things finely crafted and handmade with love - things organic or with interesting texture or patina. To me these things reflect the spirit of the person who created it or the era when it was made or the mystery of the life it has had.
